Non standard Extruders

Hello,

I looking for a way to configure a silc3r profile without any extruders. What I want is motion in XYZ without any extruder control. Some thing I have tried:

Disconnect the stepper motor and heater - low temperature extrusion prevented
Disconnect just the stepper motor - This works but the heater is on so this isn't very elegant

Ideally the solution would be to generate Gcode without any extrusion commands. To do this I have tried setting the extrusion multiplier to zero or the extruder count to zero - silc3r isn't happy with either

I know I could write a python script to remove the Gcode commands referencing the extruder or temperature, but I'm wondering is there an easier way?

What would also be nice to trigger custom Gcode when extrusion is enabled and disabled.

Does your printer support the M302 command? (http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M302:_Allow_cold_extrudes)

If so, disconnect the extruder motor (only do so with printer off), and then send that command before printing with hotend cold.
